These days, public sector workers are regularly confronted with violence. Atus and VanBerlo wanted to do something about this. To help these workers come safely out of escalated situations.
Innovation on the defence
Atus and VanBerlo put their heads together to develop an innovative personal security system: the SmartBadge. The SmartBadge has a clever e-paper display and associated app. These bring on the right assistance at the right time to workers who come into contact with aggression.
Two heads are better than one
It’s all about knowledge sharing. Atus knows everything there is to know about the personal security market. VanBerlo can tell you all about user experience design, interface design and product development. And there you have it: safety collaboration heaven!
That’s what you get
Because the user is central in all of VanBerlo’s designs, we visited hospitals to collect more direct user insights. Those insights were then incorporated into the product and interface design of the SmartBadge. Add this and that together and what do you get? A fast, easy to use and intuitive security badge.
Faster than a smart phone
The SmartBadge communicates through Bluetooth® with the user’s smart phone. With the alarm button on the badge or in the app, the user can directly ask for assistance. Received messages immediately catch the eye of the acoustic and optical support. This way high-risk professionals or employees have their own personal security system available. A system that works 20 times faster than a smart phone alone.
